Took the laptop to work today to record parts of the mid term tests. Turns out I didn’t need to carry it, but now at least I can surf (blog) at work. Even though I really have nothing to say. On a side note, people are really amazed at two things: a) I have a mac and b) I have stickers on my laptop. It seems to blow their minds.
I was hoping to record some of the really annoying sounds that you get in the japanese office, but the internal mic isn’t so great for picking up things happening a few feet away.
DivX Encoded for your pleasure.
These are all being posted on yousendit.com, so they will disappear soon. Contact me if you cannot get it anymore.
Dosshu Ueshiba’s demonstration. ( ~80 megs/9ish minutes)
Seishiro Endo Shihan 8th Dan. (~31.5 megs/3 mins)
Saino Nougyo High School. (~29.5 megs/2.5 mins)
Japanese Anthem. (~14.5megs) I couldn’t resist this as everyone with a camcorder was doing it also.
Please enjoy, put in your collection, or do whatever you will with it.. if you make any money from it, please give me some. 
More to come.
*All video dumped from MiniDV to iMovie, exported as Quicktime movie and then compressed to divx with divx converter. Any recommendations are welcome!
Well, it’s rainy season here for sure now. Rain all day long that smoothly transistions from a light pleasant sprinkle to a heavy downpoor. Maybe two more weeks of this. w00t. At least with the rain it isn’t so hot, when the sun comes out it put’s St. Louis’ humidity to shame.
Things have been pretty boring and repititious here. What’s on the news front?
I’ll (hopefully) be back in St. Louis at the end of July for about 3~4 weeks, while my school is on their summer vacation. But this depends on if I can get a seat on the flight. More to come as I know more, but you should ready your livers.
